I've posted about the benefits of Meteor on HN before (the tiny apps I built were easy to do), and many times I've been told that the Meteor packages you'll use are out of date and require effort to make work. On this thread however people are saying using Meteor is buttery smooth. Any people care to chime on this issue? Without diving in myself and building a large app, I'm having a hard to determining if the Meteor package ecosystem is thriving or stagnating.

I've yet to come across a situation where something I wanted to do didn't a) have an existing Meteor package, or b) have an npm package that you can include using meteorhacks:npm by arunoda. I'm using Meteor for two enterprise-grade b2b projects (so: reasonable scale) and as far as I'm concerned the package ecosystem is freakin awesome.
